Over the years I have helped and trained many who wish to become dog trainers. There have been good ones, but few who have the natural talents of Lexi Hayden.

Lexi Hayden has a rare, honest, naturalness about her. Whether working with a dog or dog-owner, Lexi's relaxed, ladylike manner expertly guides and tutors them toward success.

Lexi has a touch with a dog that is a gift - her smile rewards a dog and her body language gives them a wealth of information. A gift that cannot be taught, only enhanced.

After the Board and Train Program I can now walk Bailey and just relax because he no longer barks, growls or lunges at other dogs, bikes, skateboards, scooters and kids running back and forth. In fact a dog that he was very aggressive towards is now friends with and greets him nicely with no problems.

I have no hesitation in recommending Lexi - in fact my highest recommendation is that I gave her one of my own dogs to train. Something I have never trusted to anyone else, the results are wonderful - watching him work for her with such enjoyment brings an emotional feeling of delight. She is deserving of every success.

You have done amazing things with him and we are excited to continue to teach him new things. His new behaviors and obedience is a real testament to your efforts and professionalism.

Her competency in teaching dogs and owners is well founded in education and brilliant to watch performed. I would not hesitate to recommend Lexi's knowledge and services to all dog owners as well as professionals alike.

Not only does Lexi train dogs to a high degree but she also has the ability to relate to and understand the needs of owners. She applies this understanding to teach owners how to build a bond with their dogs in a most encouraging and sharing way, developing a partnership to be admired.

From our very first conversation with Lexi Hayden and throughout the entire Board and Train experience, we were impressed by Lexi's ability to really listen to our concerns and address these issues with expertise - at the same time making it fun for our pup and us.

We can’t thank Lexi and Fine-tuned Canines enough and can’t sing their praises loud enough. They’ve given us the tools to help keep Grouper balanced, which has allowed us to have a better/closer relationship with our dog. Thank you again for all that you have given us.

Lexi is a Professional member of IACP (International Association of Canine Professionals) and is highly recommended by clients, and fellow dog trainers (including internationally renowned canine professionals).
